Lyrics
If I Only Had a Brain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I could while away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers
Consulting with the rain
And my head I'd be a scratchin'
While my thoughts are busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain
I'd unravel ev'ry riddle for my
Individdle
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts that you'll be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain
Oh, I, could tell you why
The oceans near the shore
I could think of things I'd never
Thunk before
And then I'd sit down and think some more
I would not be just a muffin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain
And perhaps I'd deserve you and be
Even worthy even you
If I only had a brain
